Optimization of fermentation conditions to increase the production of antifungal metabolites from Streptomyces sp. KN37 by Xiaoyue Yang, Lijing Yuan, Muhammad Zeeshan, Chuntian Yang, Wen Gao, Guoqiang Zhang, Chunjuan Wang

“…The antifungal effect of the optimized strain fermentation dilution was significantly enhanced, and the antifungal rate of R. solani increased from 27.33 to 59.53%, closely aligning with the predicted value of 53.03%. The results of HPLC-MS/MS and transcriptomic analysis revealed that the content of some secondary metabolic active substances in the fermentation broth of KN37 was significantly different from that of the original fermentation broth. …”

Polymorphic Single‐Nucleotide Variants in miRNA Genes and the Susceptibility to Colorectal Cancer: Combined Evaluation by Pairwise and Network Meta‐Analysis, Thakkinstian's Algorit... by Qing Liu, Ivan Archilla, Sandra Lopez‐Prades, Ferran Torres, Jordi Camps, Miriam Cuatrecasas

“…Conclusion The miR‐27a (rs895819) is correlated with elevated CRC risk among overall population and Asians, and the recessive model is found to be optimal for predicting CRC risk. Additionally, the miR‐196a2 (rs11614913), miR‐143/145 (rs41291957), and miR‐34b/c (rs4938723), with the dominant, recessive, and recessive models identified as the optimal, might confer protective effects against CRC among Asians.…”

Oxidative Stress and Risk of Dementia in Older Patients with Depression: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Using Plasma Biomarkers by Yoo-Jin Jang, Min-Ji Kim, Su-Jin Lee, Shinn-Won Lim, Doh-Kwan Kim

“…<i>Background and Objectives</i>: While depression is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD), traditional AD-related biomarkers, such as amyloid-beta, have shown limited predictive value for late-life depression. Oxidative stress has emerged as a potential indicator given its shared role in both depression and dementia. …”
